Mauro Emanuel Icardi Rivero (born 19 February 1993) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a striker and Turkish club Galatasaray and the Argentina national team.
Born in Rosario, Icardi moved to the Canary Islands when he was nine. He began his footballing career at the youth teams of Vecindario and passed through La Masia, the youth system of La Liga club Barcelona, before moving to Serie A club Sampdoria to begin his professional career in 2012. After an impressive season on his debut season as professional, by scoring 11 goals with Sampdoria, Icardi moved to Inter Milan in 2013. During his time with Inter, he developed into one of the most prolific strikers in Europe. Icardi won the Capocannoniere in both the 2014–15 and 2017–18 seasons, and was named the captain of Inter in 2015, at age 22. Three years later, Icardi was integral for Inter reaching a place in the UEFA Champions League, their first time in six years, as he became the club's eighth-highest goalscorer of all time. However, on his last season, Icardi and his agent (who is also his wife) had fallen out with Inter's management, which resulted him being sent out on loan to French side Paris Saint-Germain in 2019, where he won domestic treble. He then joined the club permanently for €50 million. After a successful season on loan to Galatasaray where he led the side to a Süper Lig title, Icardi joined permanently in 2023 for a €10 million fee.

In April 2013, it was reported that Icardi would wear Inter shirt at the beginning of 2013-14 season. The transfer was confirmed by both Inter and Sampdoria and the transfer fee was €6.5 million for 50% registration rights. He was officially presented on 16 July along with other striker Ishak Belfodil. He took squad number 9.
Paris Saint-Germain[]
In September 2019, Icardi was sent on loan at French side Paris Saint-Germain for the 2019-20 season. He scored his first goal for PSG on 1 October in a Champions League match against Galatasaray, while his first Ligue 1 goal came only four days later in a 4-0 home win over Angers.

He netted his first league goal for Galatasaray in a match against Alanyaspor, where he also created an assist. His loan spell at Galatasaray was a great season for Icardi, as he helped the team to win the league title and made a total of 29 G+A league contributions (consisted of 22 goals and 7 assists) in 24 appearances. Icardi would later be made permanent signing on the next season, after Galatasaray paid a transfer fee of €10 million to PSG. He signed a three year contract with the club.
